Timber-framed horse barns and stables crafted for hobby farmers, competitive riders, and rural landowners — from first sketch to final shaving on the stall floor.
"They built exactly what my horses needed."
— Margaret Holloway, Fauquier County, VA
We didn't start with a showroom. We started with a sketch, a sawyer, and a farmer who needed his horses dry by November.
Thomas Whitmore drew his first barn plan on graph paper at a kitchen table in rural Virginia. Three stalls, a small tack room, a hay loft with a single pulley. The structure went up in eleven weeks. It still stands.
"Every barn starts as a question on paper: how many horses, how much hay, how much winter."
Expanding into larger commissions, we discovered that drainage and prevailing wind mattered more than any blueprint. We started spending a full day on every site before drawing a single line.
"The land tells you where the barn wants to sit — if you listen before you build."
A sawyer in the Shenandoah Valley showed us air-dried white oak that had been felled two years prior. We've used nothing else for primary framing since. The difference in a barn at year twenty is unmistakable.
"White oak doesn't rot. It doesn't warp. It gets better."
Our first twenty-stall facility with heated wash racks and a climate-controlled tack room. Every modern comfort — engineered into the same post-and-beam bones we've always used. The joinery is still cut by hand.
"Radiant heat under rubber mats. The horses know the difference."

You've got two horses, a few acres, and a vision. We'll help you build something that fits your land, your budget, and the way you actually use it — not a generic kit barn dropped on a pad.
Starting at three stalls, our hobby-farm builds include natural ventilation, rubber-mat stalls, a small tack room, and a hay drop from the loft. Timber-framed so it can grow with you.
Design a Small Barn
Dressage riders, eventers, and hunter-jumper trainers need more than stalls. They need aisle width that accommodates two horses being tacked at once, wash racks with warm water on demand, and tack rooms that stay dry in February.
Our competition-facility builds are engineered for daily working use: 14-foot aisles, radiant heat under wash-rack mats, climate-controlled tack rooms, and a viewing room or office above the entrance.

You already have the bones — a century-old dairy barn, a pole shed, a tobacco barn. We assess the existing structure, reinforce what's sound, and rework the interior for equine use without erasing the character that made you fall in love with the property.
Conversion projects require a site assessment before any drawings. We evaluate the foundation, existing framing, drainage, and natural light before proposing a scope. Many of our most beautiful builds started as someone else's problem.
Talk About a ConversionWe specify materials the way a saddler specifies leather — not by price, but by how they'll age.
Every joint is cut to fit the specific pieces of wood it joins. We don't use metal gussets or structural connectors in the primary frame — the geometry carries the load, the way it has for five hundred years.
50-year Galvalume. Concealed fasteners. Sheds snow cleanly.
Western red cedar. No chemical treatment needed. Weathers to silver-gray.
Air-dried, locally sawn white oak for all primary framing. Harder than Douglas fir, naturally rot-resistant, dimensionally stable across the decades.
Mortise-and-tenon joints cut by hand and secured with white oak pegs. No metal plates in the frame — the structure is held by geometry and wood.
